just one more thing.. Career educator exposing the left’s failures 🇺🇸

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

To our heroic American warriors in Operation Epic Fury:

You are CRUSHING Iran's terror regime—5,500+ targets obliterated, navy sunk, missiles/drone threats dismantled, air superiority locked in. You're heroes putting your lives on the line to stop the mullahs' global jihad, protect our homeland from Islamic takeover, and keep barbarians from our gates.

While leftist traitors shovel anti-American crap—rooting for Iran, whining about "distractions," undermining the fight—you fight for freedom, liberty, and America First. No surrender, no appeasement!

President Trump leads with strength; you execute with unmatched courage. We salute you, pray for your safety, and honor your sacrifice. God bless our troops—bring 'em home victorious! 🇺🇸

nobody gives a shit about your statement

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

My statement on Trump’s INTIMIDATION LIST of social media influencers including @EdKrassen @dpakman @briantylercohen

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

Today is the 83rd anniversary of D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, nearly 160,000 Allied troops — most of them teenagers — stormed five beaches on a 50-mile stretch of coastline in Normandy, France. 4,414 were confirmed killed that single day. Over 2,500 of them were American. They waded through chest-deep water into concentrated machine gun fire from fortified positions on the bluffs above. Many drowned before they reached the sand. The ones who made it to the beach kept moving forward anyway — not because they weren’t terrified, but because the mission was bigger than the fear.

This week I showed my student Saving Private Ryan. Not for entertainment. For education. Because there is no textbook, no lecture, and no worksheet that puts you on Omaha Beach the way those first 27 minutes do. You hear the bullets. You feel the chaos. You see young men making the last decision they will ever make — to get up and move toward the guns. When it was over, my student sat in silence. That silence was the lesson.

By the end of the Normandy campaign, the United States alone suffered 135,000 battle casualties, including 29,000 killed. The National D-Day Memorial wall carries 4,427 names — each one a life that ended at the waterline of a French beach so that the rest of the world could remain free. These men had no lobby, no corporate sponsors, no month. They had a mission and the courage to see it through.

We have assigned June a meaning in this country. I’d argue we assigned the wrong one. The liberation of Western Europe — the most consequential military operation in human history — deserves more than a federal holiday most people treat as a long weekend. It deserves the whole month. It deserves the conversation at the dinner table, the film shown in the classroom, the names read aloud so they don’t become just numbers.

June already had a meaning. It always did. We just stopped teaching it.

Full piece up on the Substack now.

Gas was up. Groceries were up. Housing was impossible. Homelessness was exploding. Businesses were leaving. All while you were in office, Ted — before any tariff existed. ‘November is coming’ cuts both ways.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

-Gas prices are up

-Consumer products are up

-Groceries are up

What is trump focused on? Spending taxpayer funds to create a trump promenade.

November is coming

@CAgovernor 😂 No peers’ is correct — no other governor oversaw the simultaneous collapse of public safety, film production, small business, and the middle class while declaring victory. That’s genuinely unprecedented.

@mehdirhasan why don’t you post it

Tom Steyer — the billionaire who spent a quarter of a BILLION dollars of his own money trying to buy the presidency and couldn’t crack 5% in the polls — is lecturing us about free and fair elections.
Let that sink in.
Tom, you literally tried to purchase your way into the White House. You flooded Democratic primaries with self-funded cash to drown out actual grassroots candidates. And NOW you’re the guardian of democracy?
‘California counts every ballot’ — yes, Tom, over several weeks, with no voter ID, bloated voter rolls, and late mail ballots that somehow always break one direction. That’s not democracy working. That’s a system designed to produce a predetermined outcome while everyone is told to be patient and stop asking questions.
The people asking questions aren’t the threat to democracy. The billionaires telling them to shut up and wait are.

[Tom Steyer @TomSteyer]

Donald Trump is not a fan of free and fair elections, but we already knew that.

California: We count every ballot. Thank you for your patience as we give democracy time to work.

wow! 😮 Xavier, let’s talk about what actually happened.
2020: Zuckerberg pumped $400 million into Democratic-leaning election infrastructure. States illegally changed voting rules without legislative approval. The FBI actively suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story weeks before the election — a story that, by every subsequent poll, would have changed the outcome. Mail-in ballots were mass-distributed with little to no chain of custody verification. And a candidate who couldn’t fill a parking lot somehow got 81 million votes.
Nobody’s crying about losing California. California has been a one-party state so long it doesn’t even know what a real election looks like anymore. What we’re questioning is a system with bloated voter rolls, no voter ID, and late ballots that somehow always break one way.
You were California’s Attorney General. You presided over all of it. The fact that YOU are out here vouching for the integrity of this system is not the reassurance you think it is.

[Xavier Becerra @XavierBecerra]

Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He lost California by millions of votes in the 2024 election, and now he's trying to undermine confidence in our elections because he’s a repeat loser here.

Sorry Donald, the voters decide who leads California. Not you.

Notice what’s happening right now.
The moment anyone questions California’s vote counting — the weeks of late ballots, the bloated voter rolls, the results that always break one way — the left doesn’t defend the system with facts.
They call you stupid.
Brian Krassenstein calls you an ‘ignoramus.’ Adam Schiff tells you to ‘be honest’ — this from a man who spent four years lying about Russia collusion and never produced a single piece of evidence.
Here’s what their panic tells me: they know the questions are legitimate. If the system was clean, they’d answer them. Instead they mock, they deflect, and they attack the intelligence of anyone who dares ask.
That’s not confidence in their system. That’s a cover-up in real time.

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

😂 Adam Schiff telling us to ‘be honest’ is genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen this week. This is the man who spent four years on national television swearing he had ‘more than circumstantial evidence’ of Trump-Russia collusion — and never produced a single thing. Not one thing. You want to talk about casting doubt on elections, Adam? Your entire career has been built on it. The difference is, our questions about California’s ballot practices are grounded in documented facts — bloated voter rolls, weeks of late-arriving mail ballots that break one way, a state that fought tooth and nail against voter ID. Your Russia collusion story was built on a dossier that was paid for by Hillary Clinton. So with respect, you are the last person on earth who gets to lecture anyone about phony pretexts.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Let’s be honest about what this is:

A blatant attempt to cast doubt in our election results, and a phony pretext for Trump to act illegally in the midterms.

California has safe and secure elections. And it takes time for every vote to count.

It’s called democracy, Donald.

“Ignoramuses”: The Left’s Favorite Slur for
People They’re Afraid to Debate

https://t.co/cOu6KuWP18

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

California is not cheating in this election.

Trump supporters are just too ignorant to understand how vote counting works.

I explain it for all of you ignoramuses:

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

The left is out screaming in defense of California’s voting system… That ought to tell you something.

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

blah blah bunch of blather

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

2 things are true:

1. Donald Trump is wrong that the California vote is being "stolen" or "rigged"

2. The California vote-counting system is broken and BADLY need to be changed

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

i’m enjoying your idiocy

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

I’m really enjoying this

[Lt. Columbo 🇺🇸 @Columbo_1971]

The smugness is almost impressive, Brian. You look down your nose at Trump supporters like you occupy some kind of moral high ground — but let’s be clear about why we’re skeptical.
Nobody’s confused about how counting works. We’re questioning WHY California allows ballots postmarked on Election Day to keep trickling in for weeks — and why, without fail, those late-arriving ballots consistently break heavily for Democrats. We’re questioning a state that has been caught with voter rolls containing millions of outdated and questionable registrations. A state that fought tooth and nail against voter ID. A state running elections where the “uncertainty” always seems to resolve in one direction. That’s not ignorance. That’s pattern recognition.
And then there’s you — acting like you’re better than the people raising these questions. You champion a movement that puts biological men in women’s sports and calls it progress. That labels parents bigots for not wanting their kids medically transitioned without their consent. That can’t get California kids to read or do math but somehow finds time to mandate gender ideology in kindergarten.
Your side doesn’t get to call anyone ignorant. We understand the process perfectly. That’s exactly the problem.
